I was working at my desk, all the piggies were mostly lounging or sleeping, when someone decided to burst into...chirp.

Of course I snuck up, trying to see who it was. There were only three pigs up in that general area-the rest were lying on their sides or curled up in the back. The three were Suzy Q, the Teddy sow I got recently from Minde, Iris Chubb the Texel, and Hazel the Teddy. I watched Iris and her head looked to be vibrating but it did that after the chirping stopped too, so I'm wondering if it was just a "drrr" I couldn't hear. I didn't really see Suzy move, and I didn't notice Hazel was up til after it stopped.

So no real clue who it is but at least I've narrowed it down a bit. Definitely someone in one of the lower middle cages. The others sat up and "drrr"'d, woke but stayed lounging, or in the case of a junior or two, darted behind Mom when they heard it.

No one really knows what chirping means; my studies of animal behavior leads me to believe it's sort of a "keeping in contact" call as it has some of the same qualities, like being loud and distinctive while being hard for predators to pinpoint exactly where it's coming from. Not a lot of funding out there for GP chirp studies, LOL so we'll have to settle for conjecture.
